Where have the Democrats been hiding that version of Barack Obamaall summer?
In a fiery speech before Congress, President Obama laid out an effective, workable jobs plan and demanded (not asked, but demanded) that Congress get off its butt and pass the bill. The attitude change is a far cry from the near begging tone Obama took with the GOP when the Republicans took the entire country hostage during the debt ceiling fight.
For starters, the bill itself is good, if not great. Could it be bigger and more progressive? Sure. Instead, it's exactly what the split government, bipartisan times calls for: some Democratic ideas, some Republican ideas, and a price tag that is offset with future cuts and tax loophole closings. In other words, it is the perfect bill.

Are you kidding? What's great about doing a repeat of something that already failed? We spent a trillion dollars on Stimulus I and it didn't create jobs. Now you want to spend half a trillion on Stimulus II and you expect that THIS time it it's going to work?
To be blunt? What the hell are you thinking? Do you REALLY not understand that we can't keep blowing money on these stupid stimulus bills that are nothing more than temporary fixes that don't create long term jobs? Do you REALLY not understand that if we don't get our spending under control that we WILL have our credit rating downgraded yet again?
The stupidity of the far left is almost mind numbing at this point. Barack Obama could stand up in front of a microphone and read the contents list off of a box of Frosted Flakes and you idiots would think it was a "perfect bill".
You're wrong. The stimulus was effective but could have been much more effective but for the Republicans primary goal of defeating Obama in the next election. The R's entire agenda is to getting back the power they lost in 2008; "Country First" like most of the Republican rhetoric are words without substance.
What in god's name are you babbling about? Obama GOT his stimulus!!! He got 800 billion dollars to throw at the country's economic problem. What did the Republicans do that "sabotaged" the stimulus? To even make that charge is outrageous. Barack, Harry and Nancy divided up that little "plum" the way THEY saw fit. What did the Republicans do that limited the "effectiveness" of the stimulus plan? Point out that it was fundamentally flawed and wouldn't work? You don't strike me as an ignorant person, Wry so I'm wondering why you're trying to peddle this nonsense. My guess is you're well aware of how badly Barack Obama and the Progressives have fared running the country and you're in full on "propaganda mode" trying to hide that fact long enough that he can get reelected. Good luck on that by the way. You really think you can blame everything on the Republicans for three and a half years and not have everyone but the hardcore left walking away from supporting this Administration? I think you're deluding yourself.
